Trainwreck
Demi Lovato · Don't Forget [2008]
You fled from medication cause it only causes pain
You won't go to the doctor he keeps calling you insane
You're lost even when you're going the right way
You mean the world to me even though you might be crazy
You said we wouldn't make it
But look how far we've come
For so long my heart was breaking
But now we're standing strong
The things you say, make me fall harder each day
You're a train wreck but I wouldn't love you if you changed!
No, Yeah
I shook your hand and you pulled it right away,
You asked me to dance instead I said, "No way!"
Inside I was dying to give it a try and you begged me so I stayed
I knew you were different from the way I caved
You said we wouldn't make it
But look how far we've come
For so long my heart was breaking
But now we're standing strong
The things you say, you make me fall harder each day
You're a train wreck but I wouldn't love you if you changed!
No, Yeah
We were so different, but opposites attract
So my hope kept growing and I never looked back
You're one of a kind
No one can change this heart of mine
Oh!
You said we wouldn't make it
But look how far we've come
For so long my heart was breaking
And now we're standing strong
The things you say, you make me fall harder each day
You're a train wreck but I wouldn't love you if you changed!
...One more thing I thought I'd share with someone special,
I'm falling like I've never fell before
It's funny you said we'd never make it, and look how far we've come
You're a train wreck but with you I'm in love...
You won't go to the doctor he keeps calling you insane
You're lost even when you're going the right way
You mean the world to me even though you might be crazy
You said we wouldn't make it
But look how far we've come
For so long my heart was breaking
But now we're standing strong
The things you say, make me fall harder each day
You're a train wreck but I wouldn't love you if you changed!
No, Yeah
I shook your hand and you pulled it right away,
You asked me to dance instead I said, "No way!"
Inside I was dying to give it a try and you begged me so I stayed
I knew you were different from the way I caved
You said we wouldn't make it
But look how far we've come
For so long my heart was breaking
But now we're standing strong
The things you say, you make me fall harder each day
You're a train wreck but I wouldn't love you if you changed!
No, Yeah
We were so different, but opposites attract
So my hope kept growing and I never looked back
You're one of a kind
No one can change this heart of mine
Oh!
You said we wouldn't make it
But look how far we've come
For so long my heart was breaking
And now we're standing strong
The things you say, you make me fall harder each day
You're a train wreck but I wouldn't love you if you changed!
...One more thing I thought I'd share with someone special,
I'm falling like I've never fell before
It's funny you said we'd never make it, and look how far we've come
You're a train wreck but with you I'm in love...
